AI Pioneer David E. Goldberg on His Lifetime of Inspiring Cultural Change Within Engineering Education

A profile on ThreeJoy founder David E. Goldberg was recently published in CEO Weekly.

From an educational point of view, we need to define the place for human intelligence in an increasingly AI-dominated world, and this is what my life’s work is about.

Quotes by David Edward Goldberg (?)

“Our initial thinking about the keys to educational reform was wrong. The variables were deeply emotional and cultural.”
― David Edward Goldberg, A Whole New Engineer: The Coming Revolution in Engineering Education

tags: education, education-reform, engineering-education

“The emotional transformation of engineering education isn’t magical thinking. Nor is it a vague abstraction or a series of touchy-feely practices. It is based on a philosophy of education that is grounded in the real world and in the lives of the students we serve. It’s available to everyone. It isn’t expensive. It can’t be accomplished in the old paradigm under the old assumptions about how education change happens, but in the right atmosphere, the change flows organically from the students themselves. That atmosphere requires systematic language change, culture change, and personal change by students, faculty, and all the stakeholders in education.”

“We came to recognize that our initial thinking about the keys to educational reform was wrong. The key variables weren’t pedagogical. They weren’t financial. They weren’t curricular. They weren’t research. They weren’t any of the usual things we’ve always talked about as the engines of change. The variables were deeply emotional and cultural.”
